Summary

The Okta RADIUS Agent Windows installer assigns write permissions to the NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES and CREATOR OWNER security principals on the directories containing the agent configuration, AES encryption key, and logs. These permissions allow any local service account on the host to read the AES encryption key and the encrypted Okta API token.

Risk Assessment

Any local service account could read the encryption key and API token, enabling impersonation of the agent and access to protected resources.

Recommendation

Restrict permissions on the agent directories to the agent service account only and update the installer to a patched version.
